Superconducting magnetic energy storage system (SMES) is a technology that uses superconducting coils to store electromagnetic energy directly.
Each technology has varying benefits and restrictions related to capacity, speed, efficiency, and cost. Another emerging technology, Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES), shows promise in advancing energy storage. SMES could revolutionize how we transfer and store electrical energy.
However, SMES systems store electrical energy in the form of a magnetic field via the flow of DC in a coil. This coil is comprised of a superconducting material with zero electrical resistance, making the creation of the magnetic field perfectly efficient.
This technology is based on three concepts that do not apply to other energy storage technologies (EPRI, 2002). First, some materials carry current with no resistive losses. Second, electric currents produce magnetic fields. Third, magnetic fields are a form of pure energy which can be stored.
Third, magnetic fields are a form of pure energy which can be stored. SMES combines these three fundamental principles to efficiently store energy in a superconducting coil.
The energy stored in an SMES system is discharged by connecting an AC power convertor to the conductive coil . SMES systems are an extremely efficient storage technology, but they have very low energy densities and are still far from being economically viable .
